This collection examines how the Society of Jesus used art and architecture in its missionary efforts in the Czech Lands from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth. The Jesuits used a variety of visual media to re-invigorate the cult of miraculous images, saints, and local Catholic customs in the Central European region, where a tradition of religious dissent went back to the legendary Hussites of the 15th century. Examining the architecture, statues, images, murals, and decorative programs of Jesuit complexes and other visual media, the essays here demonstrate how the Jesuit Order cultivated the subjects and functions of art to promote concepts of Post-Tridentine piety as they grew into one of the most successful agents of Catholic Reform in the Bohemian kingdom.
